Presidency hails Trump’s letter to Tinubu, attacks opposition over election optics

The Nigerian presidency, through its Special Adviser on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, praised former U.S. President Donald Trump's letter to President Tinubu as evidence of progress in Nigeria's counterterrorism efforts. The letter, dated July 6, commended Tinubu for his 'decisive leadership' in addressing insecurity, especially attacks on Christian communities, and reaffirmed U.S. support for counterterrorism operations. Bwala emphasized the strengthened security partnership between Nigeria and the U.S., highlighting joint operations such as the killing of a senior ISIS commander. He argued that Nigeria's commitment to security is self-driven, not reliant on external praise. Additionally, Bwala criticized the opposition for opposing the letter, calling them 'jobless thinkers' motivated by electoral interests rather than genuine concern for national security.
